i moved to vancouver just over a week now and it hit me today, how much i've grown up and how much i missed everybody.
Remembering arriving in this new country at the age of 10, still under the protection and care of my amazing parents. I've grown to trust myself and have my own opinions.
The fights with parents would never end, yet i miss them so much now. The big brother, who used to play fights with me and who would make me cry when he's angry, is an irresplacable person. Having a big brother to protect me no matter where i am or where he is is an amazing feeling. It's shocking to think that i am in university and living on my own and i look through the pictures to see my parents getting older and older. What have i done for them as a daughter? They've raised me for 18 years. They do everything for the kids. They live away from each other so they can give my brother and i the best they can. Kids like me who's given almost anything i ever wanted, sometimes take everything for granted. I honestly don't know how i can every repay them...
In my whole entire 18 years of life, i've met a lot of people. They brought me tear, joy, lessons, self-assurance, criticism, and memories. Every moments we shared are buried in my heart. They won't be erased and if they are fadding, the pictures remind me how fortunate i am. I'm so thankful that i was fortunate enough to be born into this family and to be the way i am and to meet the people i met. I've been so busy with school that i havn't had time to just sit and think about all of these thoughts.
It's healthy to be far away to develop my confidence and learn more about me, but it's painful to have your love ones away.
I cried, for so long tonight, and i don't even know why. If this was a piece of paper i'm writing on, it'd be soaked and my thoughts would be lost.
I miss everybody so much.. .
so much..
